Chapter 3224 Investing in

In the end, the two people didn't sign any contract.

They are all open-minded people. Anyway, everyone knows that the crew is a grass-roots team... No, according to Director Li Dongfeng Li, everyone is doing it for art, so don’t be so serious. What kind of contract did you sign? I gave it to Ye Ming. 500 yuan is considered a deposit.

Ye Ming also had some surprises: "Director, you just paid me for this thing, and you didn't even sign the contract, so you just trust me? Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with 500 yuan?"

Director Li Dongfeng was very rude and said with a snort: "500 yuan, are you short of this 500 yuan? It is worth 500 yuan if you can really see a person clearly. I am short of money, but I don’t lack the 500 yuan, and I still believe in my own judgment of people.

You are the most suitable actor for my current movie. I'll tell you the truth. You look a little silly.

She is the kind of kid who comes from the countryside who is easily deceived. She has such a temperament that a city student would never be able to portray.

It is estimated that even if he is an Oscar winner, if his family is in the city, he may not be able to perfectly express the feeling of being rustic, silly, and a little decadent in you.

You don’t know that when I first looked at you, I thought, oh, if you squatted on the curb with a broken bowl, I would probably give you a 10-8 yuan one. You really don’t have that kind of temperament. Ordinary people can perform it.

You should indeed have grown up in a rural area, which is really difficult to act in. So, I still think you are very suitable for my movie. I hope you can participate in my movie.

Since I want you to participate in my movie, of course I have to show my sincerity. I can’t show you a lot of sincerity, but I can still show my sincerity with 500 yuan. Besides, I can show my sincerity. They didn’t say that all the 500 yuan would be given to you, right?

If you need to buy some costumes or something, just buy a set based on the outfits of those people who go out to work in your village. Don’t worry about the rest. Anyway, our crew doesn’t have makeup or stage management or anything like that. Well, you can do it yourself.

So the 500 yuan given to you is not given to you for free. You can go and buy something yourself. "

To be honest, Director Li Dongfeng is indeed very generous. He was very open about this matter. He didn't even sign the contract, but just gave him 500 yuan. Although it was regarded as self-installation fee, it showed his talent. When sincerity comes, it really shows your sincerity.

This point made Ye Ming believe that he really wanted to make his own movie well. Although it is estimated that director Li Dongsheng may not have much money at hand, he still showed his majestic side.

It can be said that he is thirsty for talents now. Even Ye Ming is a little embarrassed to get off the pirate ship at this time.

Just when the business was concluded and the two of them were about to break up, a gentle-looking guy wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses came in from the outside with a flustered expression.

After he came in, he hurriedly walked to Director Li Dongfeng and said anxiously: "I'm sorry, director, there are some problems on my side.

As for Boss Han, he is no longer planning to invest, he is planning to divest, so our 40,000 yuan is probably going to be wasted.

Without the 40,000 yuan from Boss Han, it would be impossible for our crew to continue filming. Renting a camera, and then buying film, all require money. These are all processes, and they cannot be saved no matter what. Even if we find a relationship, it can be cheaper. If we rent a camera, then at this time, the film It can't be bought cheaply either.

So, we are budgeting carefully at this time, and 100,000 yuan is considered to be no less. If it is less, it will be almost half the difference at once, and our crew is afraid that it will be finished.

It is estimated that this dream of ours will be difficult to maintain. Without money, it is impossible to continue.

Especially since we are suddenly short of almost half of the money, it will be even more difficult for this crew to sustain itself. "

Director Li Dongfeng said very strangely: "Then why? Didn't Boss Han say it well? He said he would invest 40,000 yuan for us to live in. He said it well when we were drinking yesterday, but why did he change his mind today? ?

Does this person have any credibility? "

At this time, Golden Glasses also said helplessly: "Maybe we communicated with the director, there is some misunderstanding. Boss Han invested in our movie, he meant to let his secretary Lulu come to our meeting Movie, but Lulu now insists on playing the leading female role.

The second female lead doesn’t want to do that, right?

We had agreed before that she would play the second female lead. However, after Lulu saw the script, she thought that the second female lead was just a supporting role that could not be smaller, and there was no chance for her to shine at all, so what? She wants to play the female lead.

But, if you want to find a professional actor to play the lead female director, think about Boss Han’s secretary Lulu. She can’t be a professional actor. Therefore, we can’t let him play the lead female director. Number.

Boss Han said that if his secretary is not allowed to play the lead female role, he will withdraw funding. "

Director Li, as for Director Li, thought for a moment with some worry, and then continued: "You didn't tell them that our female lead is a woman who has made a mistake, and what she is going to perform in it is a woman who has made a mistake that has been battle-tested for a long time." Woman, if her female secretary Lulu is cast as the female lead, will she be willing to do this?"

At this time, the gold-rimmed glasses immediately said helplessly: "Before, I also talked about this matter with Boss Han and Lulu, saying that our female lead is a four-legged woman. In fact, she is not very showy. Yes, you may not be able to be more successful if you act. However, Lulu said that she can dedicate herself to art, and she can play a fallen woman for the sake of art. She thinks it doesn't matter, she just wants to play the leading female role."

At this time, Director Li Dongfeng felt a little uncomfortable. He still had to have a bottom line. He conceived his own movie and spent 100,000 yuan to shoot it. This was already the limit.

Every detail has been clearly portrayed. If the female lead is to succeed, there must be a professional actor to perform the soul of the entire movie. There are two male leads and one female lead.

As for the male lead, he is just a silly young man from the countryside who comes out to make money. It is not wrong to find Ye Ming in this regard. He has this kind of temperament in him. This is not just pretending. He really has the kind of person who comes from the countryside. A silly temperament.

In fact, it was because of some of Ye Ming's experiences in the digestion class over the past two days that he was in a trance. It was because he was tired and panicked. However, at this critical moment, he was discovered by Director Li Dongfeng. .

It was a coincidence that director Li Dongfeng decided that Ye Ming had the kind of silly temperament he was looking for in a leading actor. Only in rural areas with that kind of silly temperament would a young man who came out of the countryside be so easy to fall for. The women were deceived.

Uh, so in the future, this person can be purely natural.

There was nothing wrong with finding Ye Mingzhu, and the two of them had already settled on it, which made Director Li feel very happy.

This female lead is also very important, so we must find a professional to perform, because a professional is an ordinary tour in terms of explosive power and camera sense, or a level that ordinary people cannot achieve.

So, at this time, Lulu, the investor’s secretary, wanted to say that after starring, this is simply impossible. If an ordinary person is allowed to play the female lead, then the movie can be said to have basically collapsed by half. .

This movie is his own hard work, so at this time, Director Li has no intention of compromising.

At this time, Director Li thought for a while and said: "Go and discuss with him again to see if you can persuade him. If it doesn't work, let's talk about something else. If it doesn't work, then we will have to find someone else." Others, let’s see if other people can invest some money. If it doesn’t work, eight or ninety thousand yuan will do, right?

Let's find another twenty or thirty thousand. See if any boss is willing to invest. "

At this time, Gold-rimmed Glasses shook his head and said: "Of course I have already talked to Boss Han and Lulu. We talked for about an hour. I tried my best to say a lot of good things, but Well, Boss Han and Lulu insisted that we should either be the female lead or divest our investment. Let us choose one of these two.

And answer him as soon as possible. Boss Han said that if he doesn't get an answer before dinner today, he will withdraw the investment directly and let us play by ourselves. "

When Ye Ming heard this, he almost heard it. He just wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible and finish filming the movie as soon as possible, because his vacation was indeed not particularly sufficient.

So, if this matter continues to be delayed, it will be impossible to complete this movie.

So Ye Ming finally thought about it and said: "Director Li, if possible, how about I participate in this investment? I can afford 40,000 yuan.

In this case, we can be partners, and I can lead the financial team. "

Director Li was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Lei as if he were a monster for a long time before saying: "Well, 40,000 yuan is not a small amount. Student Ye Ming, you have to think clearly.

As for my movie, I am of course very confident, but I can’t guarantee what kind of result it will have in the end. I can work very hard to film it, but, I In fact, I know it very well in my heart.

It is simply impossible for this movie to be released in China. I didn’t plan on having it released in China when I started making this movie, so I tried to win over Boss Han to invest in it, and then promised that his secretary would play the second female lead. Is it because I think 40,000 yuan is nothing for a big boss like Boss Han, and it doesn’t matter even if he loses money.

But 40,000 yuan is an astronomical amount of money for a student like you. If you really lose money by investing in my movie, I will feel sorry for you.

Although I may have various problems, I still have my own bottom line, right? I think it is a bit unforgiving to cheat a child out of his money.

So I have to make it clear to you first. As for this money, if you invest it, there is a high probability that you will never get it back.

Besides, is your family willing for you to invest? Can you be the master of the house with 400 yuan? 40,000 yuan is not a small sum. "

Ye Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "I also want to give this movie a chance to be completed? As I said just now, I really don't have much time. I still have to go to school over there. It costs 40,000 yuan." It’s really not a big amount to me, I’ve earned enough during my own holidays.

I also have a pocket money of my own, which must be more than 40,000 yuan. I haven’t looked at the details. It seems to be deposited in a Swiss bank. It’s all in US dollars, pounds, francs and the like. I haven’t looked at the exact amount. , but, no matter what, there is definitely 100,000 yuan.

So, money is not a big deal to me. I can be the master of my own money. What I want is to make this movie as soon as possible. Then, I can go back to school. . "

When I heard that it was not only Director Li, but also the gold-rimmed glasses, I was a little shocked. Good guy, I didn't expect that the high school student sitting in front of me who looked like a beggar was actually such a student. A wealthy man, the kind who is not short of money.

This is just talking about pounds, dollars, francs, etc. Isn’t that much pocket money?

Is there really a mine in that house? Did he meet a rich second generation?

Could it be that the crew really had their fortunes turn and met a hidden rich second generation?

Director Li immediately understood and said: "This classmate, let's talk about it first. 40,000 yuan is really not a small amount. You have to think clearly. Do you have any money in your home?" Mine, 40,000 yuan was given immediately.

We are not a crew that cheats money. We really work hard for art. We are not a crew that cheats money. Although we are a crew that cheats money, we are not a crew that cheats money. We work hard for art. Caotai team.

We can't fool you, a student, just to keep our movie going. Our crew still has our own bottom line, at least we won’t do things like defrauding people of money. "

Ye Ming, at this time, said with great certainty: "Don't worry, Director Li, I do know that all this money is my own money, a little money earned from my usual part-time job, and some of my New Year's money and so on. 40,000 yuan is right It's really not a lot to me.

Let's put it this way, our family has shares in the Nuclear Film and Television Base, which has been causing a lot of noise in the entertainment industry recently. So it’s not difficult to say that I have some pocket money or something, right? "
